Re: Removing radio from '01 sts

This is something Id read a while back from Dadillac. It is for an 01 STS......But it was a reply he gave to someone to try to find a rattling sound.
I think it does apply though seein as it ends with removing the stereo.

The trim plate has four press type clips that will release when the plate is pried upward. Put the shifter in a low gear, slide the trim plate backward, disconnect the electrical wiring, and remove the shifter trim plate. Pry off the sterreo trim plate that is above the stereo. There are two clips that will release when the trim plate is pried rearward. The stereo and climate control is removed and installed as a single unit. You will find two screws at the bottom, and one at the top. Remove those, disconnect the wiring, remove the unit. .........................................
